Lurking ain’t working

  • Summary

  • Today, we're doing the big sister thing and sharing some straight-up advice:

    • Lists of a lot of the places where we find (or are aware of) scicomm communities, especially online
    • Recommendations on how not to be a creep (just in case you need to pass that advice along 😏)
    • How important it is to actually get involved, not just hang-around on the fringes of these communities

    We also get real honest: you have to interact with people and build relationships if you’re going to feel like you have found a scicomm community where you belong. Lurking ain’t working.

    Then, we ask you to dig in for yourself: What’s a scicomm community that you are in and want to gush about, or one that you’re working your way into?

    Thanks for listening! We’re hoping for a community potluck 🥗🍛: Connect with us on social media (BlueSky, LinkedIn, Twitter, various Slack communities, etc.) or at www.meteorscicomm.org.

    P.S. If you missed it, we’re going to try something new next season — guests!!! Deets here if you want to join. And, if anyone listening reading has funding to help us compensate guests, please let us know!
